Error when testing with grafana-agent multi-subordinate functionality.

Issue

Error with hardware-observer charm when trying to test the multi-subordinate functionality of grafana-agent charm from this branch. The hardware-observer charm status is blocked with the message "Exporter is unhealthy".

Setup

Relations are added for the grafana-agent charm with both zookeeper and hardware-observer over the cos-agent interface.

juju deploy zookeeper
juju deploy hardware-observer --channel edge
# grafana-agent charm built from the "multi-sub" branch
juju deploy ./grafana-agent.charm

juju relate grafana-agent zookeeper
juju relate hardware-observer zookeeper
juju relate hardware-observer grafana-agent

# COS is setup on another k8s cloud
juju relate grafana-agent ashley/cos.prometheus

COS Setup
The microk8s charm is added in the same model and configured with COS. The k8s cloud is added to the same controller using the juju add-k8s command.

juju deploy microk8s
juju config microk8s addons="dns ingress hostpath-storage metallb:<public-ip-of-machine>-<public-ip-of-machine>"

Other Notes

• This error doesn't immediately pop up. After adding the cos-agent relation between grafana-agent and hardware-observer, this error occurs after a few minutes where the status is initially active.
• The zookeeper metrics are visible on COS Prometheus but the hardware-observer alerts/metrics are not present.

Here is the output from systemctl status and journalctl for hardware-exporter.service running on the machine.

I could find some pydantic errors in the journalctl output.
